In this insightful and relatable episode of the Transform My Dance Studio Podcast, Olivia Mode-Cater sits down with Rosina Andrews, author, educator, and host of The Dance Smarter Podcast, to unpack one of the biggest challenges in the studio calendar—the November slump. Together, they break down why student motivation dips, how family schedules and burnout collide, and the practical ways to protect retention and community when stress levels are high.

You'll walk away with strategies to keep your students showing up, your parents communicating, and your team thriving through the busiest season of the year—without losing your sanity or the studio magic.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why November is the "make or break" month for student retention

  • The subconscious stress families and students feel before the holidays

  • Early warning signs of disengagement (and how to catch them early)

  • How to plan smarter rehearsals and avoid burnout and injuries

  • The secret to boosting belonging and progress during slower months

  • How to turn family chaos into community connection

  • Creative ideas for spirit days, parent weeks, and holiday events

  • Why over-scheduling kills motivation—and what to do instead

  • The importance of communication handbooks and clear systems

  • How to keep joy, consistency, and connection front and center all season long

If you're ready to make November a month of connection, not chaos, this episode is your roadmap to higher retention and a happier studio.
